go to them and say i'm uninsured or between insurance, is there anything you can do for me? frequently, they can decrease the amount they charge you for the visit. sometimes up to 50%. >> the whole insurance thing, a lot of what happens in doctor's offices has to do with paperwork. and that takes time and money. if you can save them some of that, they can save you money. >> absolutely. as a physician, we want to work with you. we're a team. so if you come to me and say i want to come i want to see you and take care of my health but can't afford it. we want to do the best thing we can for you. just let your doctor know what's going on. >> you talk a little about flexible healthcare spending accounts. >> right. >> i've heard about that but tell me how it works. >> pretax money deducted from your paycheck. if you don't use it, you lose it.

if you are going to put money in, it can be used for different types of healthcare costs. so things like your kid's braces. doctor's visits, even breast pumps. it's good to go online and check what things you already might be buying which are useful for this deduction. >> very good. and lowers your tax lie ability. >> absolutely. >> your doctor says tony, you're 50 and i want to have a colonoscopy. is there something else we might be able to do? the doctor says maybe we can tweak things. get you the same amount of information we need but do different tests. and so they might suggest other options. this can be true too if you are getting blood work drawn. instead of them getting a full panel, honing in on one value. that can be a cost

saving. >> many of us have the impression, unfortunately when we go to the doctor, we know the doctors are busy. some are better than others. and sometimes people feel like he doesn't want me to ask a whole bunch of questions. do you have to get over that? >> you do. i tell my patients this all the time. medicine is a service industry. and unfortunately as a patient, you have the right to go somewhere else. if you are not getting the relationship you need from a doctor, find someone else. find someone who will listen to you. >> talking about office visits, don't schedule or attend unnecessary office visits. >> you have a minor ailment you've seen your doctor for and maybe you've taken antibiotics and can't afford because of time off from work or money the co-pay to see the doctor again. call and say i finished the course of medication, i'm doing

better. do i really need to come back. and your doctor may say you don't need to come back or i'll follow you up. it's not always an option depending upon what's going on if you need more blood work but sometimes can be a possibility. >> free samples. you got to ask for free samples. >> you do. >> many doctors now offer them. >> right. and not everybody does. so you have to be flexible. but if your doctor wants to try you on a new medication or if you have anal gee to it, useful to say do you have a couple samples i can try. my own 95-year-old grandmother is calling asking can i get medications cheaper? no. but talk to your doctor and tell her you can't afford this one. is there something else you can take. >> i'm jumping out. avoid the er as

much as possible. >> right. it's a bad idea. it's not a good utilization of their time or everybody's resources. unless you are actively dying. having a heart attack, bleeding out, you are not going to be seen right away. the er is not where you go for primary care. find a doctor. if you don't have a doctor, try an urgent care or local clinic. but try to stay out of the e.r.. >> all right. doctor varnado. thank you very much for coming in. very nice to meet you. come back sometime. stay with us. we'll be back with more in just a moment. it's 8:23.
